@user-li5ls3rv7d- Lol, are you serious? As a hifi enthusiast, audio is paramount for me, not where the buttons are located or if they power off by themselves after a while of non-usage. I like the fact that I didn't have to press and hold the button, but just push the on button and the headphones are powered on effortlessly. To me, that is a mature and traditional audio experience. No app and all those clisches to mess with the turning on process.
Got mine and love them..they sound beautiful in bluetooth mode and even better wired to a dac, you described them at the Munich show in October and i was hooked. Your bullet points about the Dali io12’s are spot on, everything works. I have the Levinson No:5909 and Focal Bathys but these reign supreme 😃👍
How do they compare to the Bathys? Please give us more details. Im set on getting the Bathys but these might just make me rethink that so I want to know if the doubled price is justified.
@@Henry14arsenal2007 no the price in comparison is not justified. The Bathys are a steal at £699 if that’s what you pay and they have great treble and bass and are crisp which i love, they sound centralised in your head as do the Levinson 5909, another great pair of headphones. The IO 12 are a bit more smooth sounding but their instrument separation is fantastic which gives them an airy sound which is wonderful to listen too…but if i were you, Bathys all the way because the IO 12 are not £300 better, but they are better 👍
@@Henry14arsenal2007 Hello, we cannot answer this question for you as this is a personal choice. You should compare the headphones directly to get the answers you are looking for. You can book a free demo at your local DALI dealer here - www.dali-speakers.com/en/locate-a-dealer/
@@stephenwest673 I have a good friend at a hi-fi store in Germany. He told me the same: Focal Bathys, especially below 650 EUR is a major GO, however if you're looking for the very best audio quality then go for the IO12. For this however bear in mind that you take a major hit on ease of useless. The IO12 is huge and is very heavy (over 370 Gramm), it´s designed to be used it at home.
@@dalispeakers hey dali. Loving the headset, audio quality is excellent! Great work! But the clamp/presure between my ears are to strong, I can hear my heartbeat because it’s too tight. My head is too big and I’m worried if I push it too much I might break the headband, any ideas? Also the voice saying “bass” and “hifi” is of low quality, it cracks and sounds really bad quality wise, like it’s in 2kbps. “Connected” sounds fine.
Thanks for the video. I have a question. A week ago I bought these headphones through Amazon and I'm thrilled with them, but my concern is the lack of information about the warranty. Before I keep them, could you tell me what the warranty is on these amazing and very expensive headphones, please? How safe am I with them in case defects appear in a few months or a couple of years? Thank you in advance for your reply.

@@dalispeakers Thank you, for taking the time to reply. The DALI IO-12 is the end of my search for the most comfortable and best-sounding ANC wireless headphones.
Hello, as it stands now, the headphone stand you see in the video isn't available for end-users due to the demand for the stand. However, this may change shortly depending on the demand for the stand increases. Stay tuned to our socials for all DALI updates so you can stay in the loop.
Book a demo at your local DALI store and find out for yourself ;) - You can find the nearest store to you here www.dali-speakers.com/en/locate-a-dealer/
Hello, I am sorry to say that we do not have dealers in Pakistan to offer you a demo. However, you are free to check out where are dealers are located here - www.dali-speakers.com/en/locate-a-dealer/
Hello, this is down to personal preference. I would suggest booking a demo at your local DALI dealer to test both headphones and see the difference yourself :)
I have both and the Dali soundstage is hard to define but it is fantastic, the instruments and vocals are separated so well, the Bathys sound great too but slightly blocky in comparison, by that i mean it sounds like one wall of sound 👍
@@dalispeakers can you advise if the battery is or will be user replaceable when it ultimately dies in a few years? Really important to know before spending the $$ on these.

These headphones are bold and beautiful! The sound is buttery. I am very happy with my purchase. Thank you, Dali! ❤️
That is great to hear! Glad you're happy with the headphones :)
My only problem is they take forever to turn off is that normal?

When trying out these headphones it felt like being wrapped gently in a musical uterus 😃
Well, that is a first haha glad you like the headphones 😄
I really want to purchase these but I would much rather them be in a black silver combination colour.
Are you planning on making a pair in black?
I'm afraid that we currently have no plans to add different colour variants.
@@dalispeakers Thank you for your reply.
What headphone stand is that? I get my IO-12's tomorrow, i can't wait!!
Did those stands come with the headphones lol. Would be a bonus lol
does this have dolby atmosphere?
is that a headphone stand? Where can I get it for my Dali 10 12s???

Great sound but very big
how is the soundstage, compared to Focal Bathys??
Hello, this is down to personal preference. I would suggest booking a demo at your local DALI dealer to test both headphones and see the difference yourself :)
I ordered them
I've read only good stuff about Dali IO 12

Hey @@domd8290 You won't be able to do it manually but you will be able to go through your local DALI dealer to replace the battery if needed. Thanks
They take forever to turn off..but they're very nice & sounds great
